Just another example of Wokeness even ruining the period piece genre.

Looking forward to the remake of Pride and Prejudice with the genders reversed. That should be fun. 😎

How about Tomb Raider with a male protagonist? 🤣

Maybe women and blacks should write their own stories and put themselves at center stage. Why can’t they do that? Shoving themselves into existing stories just highlights the fact that they (apparently) don’t have any original stories to tell for themselves.

Waiting for the remake of Gone With the Wind with Lea DeLaria as Rhett Butler.

Anything new involving Brits is going to be woke to the max. If I want to watch this story I’ll watch the 1956 film. It followed the story very well and was a travelogue to boot.

My favorite pastime has become watching girls, and millennials in general, fail miserably when they try to do something. They see small, weak, stupid people succeeding in media, and they assume what works in fantasy will hold true in reality. I think my favorite is the ol’ “yah, I can do a standing back flip 50 lbs overweight with my hair dyed pink ‘cause I saw a loser do it on the internet!”

Around the world I’ve searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You’d look at me and I would see the smile you’re smiling now

It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you

The original 1956 movie will always be the best one ...

Like West Side Story ...

Planet of the Apes

etc

Yet another woke crap to avoid.
One of my favorite books from when I was a kid.

If WOKSTERS ARE SO SMART why do they rip off old favorites - why not just make a horrible new movie based on their ideas? Or is the fraud intentional? Make a few bucks before people figure out it’s a low talent scam of a better movie?

Ghostbusters (2016)
Charlie’s Angels (2019)
Captain Marvel (2019)
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
West Side Story 1961 (2021)

Detective Fix also gets a modern-day makeover.

Will she become gay like the new Della Street?

More color blind than the one in 2004 with Jackie Chan?! Maybe actually see it first and stop being so precious about skin color. How about worry if the actors are any good.

I NEVER go see a remake. Lessons learned years ago.

And another quack film will go down the drain; what’s that expression? A fool and his money is soon parted. So where did the fool get his money from in the first place? From foolish investors.

Read that it has already been renewed for a 2nd season.

Invariably cruddy remakes and sequels exposed the dearth of creativity in show business long ago. There are only a handful of stories in the world and they are rewritten over and over.

I saw the original movie at the Carthay Circle Theater in Los Angeles in May, 1958 and was very impressed. The theater, where many blockbusters premiered, was razed in 1969.

Around the World in 80 Days is one of those movies that should never be remade, especially given the atmosphere of wokeness that pervades Hollywood.

An interesting fact. The first person to actually travel around the world in 80 days was a female New York World reporter, Nellie Bly, in 1882.

So, although it is a rewrite / remake, perhaps it isn’t actually unrealistic.
